I have had a lifetime’s interest in photography, which since I retired from full time work has become my passion. I am continually pushing the boundaries of my abilities to further the quality that I can produce in both shooting the image and in the editing and retouching process. I have been published in several periodicals and exhibited in international salons. I am particularly interested in location work and am also keen on creative photo-manipulation so any ideas welcome.

I am looking for subjects who would like to work with me. I always work within the models stated work levels, but I’m always open minded to other ideas and suggestions. I am happy to do TFCD to build experience or work with anyone who has good ideas and needs a photographer to capture them.

John and I recently had a fantastic session shooting in the studio covering incredible variety, a considerable amount of which was generated from Johns perspective of genius ideas and some of the wonderful props he brought! Without a speck of doubt John is a passion-driven genius mind and his evident enthusiasm for his work really does shine through.

Johns communications were spot on, as were his mannerisms and professionalism - we had a great deal of joy whilst shooting and he is by far very pleasurable to be accompanied by. I totally recommend John with stupendous confidence to others due to work with him and very much look forward to our second shoot one to one shoot (I have also worked with John during a group shoot from which he was equally as terrific).

Had a great location shoot with Tracy. She is an intelligent and versatile model who plays a full part in the creative process. She has many good ideas of her own and is excellent at understanding and interpreting posing suggestions.
Communication was excellent before, during and after the shoot. She has a good artistic eye and is able to give helpful feedback on images. She is very friendly and easy to get along with. I have no hesitation in recommending her.
